Vintage Laboratory Technician, Hawke's Bay

About Us

Excitement is growing at Indevin as we gear up for the most exhilarating time of the year: Vintage!
Home to Villa Maria, our vision is to be one of the world's great wine companies, sharing the best of New Zealand wine with the world. Our grapes come from over 6,000 hectares of planted vineyards and blended in our wineries across three of the renowned wine regions - Marlborough, Hawke's Bay, and Gisborne - and our wines are exported globally. From grape to glass, we're passionate about wine and we love what we do!

The Role

Vintage 2027 is fast approaching and we’re getting ready!   

As we gear up for Vintage 2027, we're on the hunt for Laboratory Technicians to join our Hawke's Bay Vintage team. In this hands-on role, you will support our winery operations by carrying out a range of laboratory analyses, including: 

• Collect samples and complete analysis in our laboratory 


• Grape maturity analysis 


• Sampling and testing ferments 


• Other analyses consistent with industry best practice 

These will be full time, fixed term roles to support with our seasonal Vintage requirements. 

Typically, our vintages run from mid-February to late-April.  Because of the nature of our business, our vintage dates might change slightly, but we will always keep you up-to-date with the latest information as we get it. 

About you

Whether you've been studying a relevant qualification or you bring several Vintages experience in a Lab - we have a role for you!

What else to expect?

For the team at the heart of this annual experience, there's much more to be made in addition to wine.

• You'll make great friends (it'll feel like family by the end), good money, new skills and incredible memories. That's just a taste of what you can look forward to making when you're part of our vintage crew.


• Our winery is situated on the edge of the Gimblett Gravels, specialising in the production of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot as well as other varietals.


• We might be bragging, but our winery lab is industry-leading, with state-of-the-art technology and a proud team who boasts proficiency scores in the top percentile in the country. 
  Our lab has it all, and a dedicated, accurate team is at the core of it.
